Abstract

Landsat Collections ensure that all Landsat Level-1 data are consistently calibrated and processed and retain traceability of data quality provenance. Landsat Collection 2 introduces improvements that harness recent advancements in data processing, algorithm development, data access, and distribution capabilities. Collection 2 includes Landsat Level-1 data for all sensors since 1972 and global Level-2 surface reflectance and surface temperature scene-based products for data acquired since 1982 starting with the Landsat Thematic Mapper sensor era.
